CRAIG’S LIST
The CrossFit Email of the Day has had some fantastic articles lately. I’m really enjoying how they are taking on traditionally accepted data and research and giving a real perspective. PLEASE(!!) read the two articles below – they are scary and very important reading.
- Overuse of heartburn drugs linked to heart, kidney disease, cancer – Tauren Dyson, UPI. “More than 15 million people are prescribed PPIs each year, while millions more purchase them over-the-counter, the researchers say. Heartburn, ulcer and acid reflux medicine may bring relief, but over time, they could also increase a person’s risk of early death, new findings show. Researchers have linked popular drugs like Prevacid, Prilosec, Nexium, Protonix and other proton pump inhibitors to a higher risk of death by cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease, as well as upper gastrointestinal cancer, according to a study published in The BMJ.”
- Statins – What Are The Benefits? Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. Statins are the most widely prescribed medications worldwide. It is a billion dollar industry. In the U.S., around 40 million people take statins. So what is the impact? Well, according to Dr. Kendrick, statins (i.e., Lipator, Crestor) improve life expectancy by only .6 – .75 days for each year of use! That’s 18-22 days of life expectancy for 30 years of daily use.
- CrossFit Games Day 3 & 4 – James Cooper. What’s it like hanging out with Diablo CrossFit athletes at the CrossFit Games? Well, its kinda like hangin’ out with your CrossFit friends anywhere: fun stories, good laughs, great workouts and maybe a challege or two.
